Connectors deliver 50% space savings over USCAR connectors
Claiming to be the smallest automotive-grade unsealed system in the industry, the Mini50 Unsealed Connector System also claims to be the only USCAR approved interface for use in unsealed transportation vehicle environments. The connectors, from Molex, deliver 50% space savings over traditional USCAR 0.64mm connectors, with smaller terminals to fit more low-current electrical circuits in interior, unsealed transportation-vehicle environments.
Rugged touch panel PC suits outdoor applications
Designed to meet the challenges of outdoor operations, including the impact of high ambient lighting, the GOT812LR-832 is a heavy-duty 12.1" touch panel computer from Axiomtek. This panel PC features a 1000nits, high-brightness and low-reflective LCD touch screen for excellent display quality.
The smallest and lowest power Bluetooth Smart device
Now in production, the DA14580 SmartBond SoC has been hailed as the world’s smallest and lowest power Bluetooth Smart device by Dialog Semiconductor. Compared to competing solutions on the market, the DA14580 more than doubles the battery life of an application-enabled smartphone accessory, wearable device or computer peripheral.
GSM/GPRS module adresses cost-sensitive M2M applications
Available in a popular compact LGA module form factor, the SARA-G340 is a full-featured dual-band (900/1800 MHz) GSM/GPRS module from u-blox. The device adresses cost-sensitive M2M applications and is the ninth variant of the company’s SARA modem series.
Power over Ethernet port can supply up to 30W
Enabling devices with higher power consumption to be powered, the SPIDER Giga 2TX PoE EEC is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector from Belden which can supply up to 30W. This makes it a suitable and efficient solution for powering devices, such as IP cameras, IP telephones or WLAN access points.
Transformers fulfill continuing demand for higher bandwidth
Compliant for use with the Lantiq Vinax V3 chipset family, the BX4289LNL and BX4289LNLT signals the expansion of Pulse Electronic's series of transformers. The Class H line driver VDSL2 30MHz vectored transformer is used with the BX4289LNL and BX4289LNLT to deliver high bandwidth over existing copper transmission lines.
